Human history is shaped by advancements, not by backwardness – the transition from simple to complicated, from analogue to digital. The development has shaped from unconscious intention to conscious doctrine. The computer revolution at the end of the last century paved the way for post-industrial society, society of changes and unlimited possibilities. Thanks to the swift development of information technologies, information sciences have developed as well, resulting in information and communication systems improving the flow of information and knowledge; it can be said that we hold the world on the palm of our hand. With the technological transformation and evolution, the understanding of literacy and knowledge has also transformed. The establishment of the knowledge society has become an imperative of further development and creation of equitable world in which knowledge becomes the main economic resource available to everyone. The main criterion for the establishment of the knowledge society is general access to information and knowledge. One of the main concepts of knowledge society is the concept of lifelong learning – a constant need for gaining new and improving old knowledge is promoted. A current theme in today’s education policy is interculturalism; a foundation stone for establishment of a more just and more humane society. With all this in mind, the logical conclusion is that education is currently the best economic investment.
